What browser are you using in iOS17?

[javisan]

I consider myself forced to use Safari as Apple continues to intentionally cripple 3rd Party browsers by not allowing them to use extensions, which makes zero sense as these other browsers are forced to use the same Safari webkit (meaning these third party browsers are really a crippled re-themed Safari).

Without extension support, there is no other real alternative in my view.

The alternatives just have to bake their special features into their browser. For example - Microsoft Edge bakes an ad blocker into iOS Edge. So it is possible to build unique experiences for iOS users that make a real difference.

Safari with Private Relay on

Still wild to see reviewers and other folks having 3rd party browsers on their mobile devices when I know there’s no extension support for things like adblockers. I can’t browse the internet without one, it’s too much. Even ’scarier’ is seeing folks using desktop browsers without adblockers installed, just raw dogging the internet…what awful trend is this!

Safari on Mac, iPad and iPhone. Too many benefits to doing so and I can ensure it is continually updated and patched and not hindered by the OS.

I need to use say Edge or Firefox to get reliable results on iPadOS 15.5. The only real attraction to Safari in is the way it displays & handles bookmarks & reading list. Otherwise:

IPadOS Safari is regularly dreadful, erroring, not displaying correctly, not loading sites ect - regularly requires flushing the cache & history to re-set it & this requires navigation elsewhere rather than providing in-browser. For whatever reason, this is far, far worse than the MacOS version. Main solution seems to be to use Edge or Firefox, whatever. But Safari seems to be the only one on iPadOS that provides constant visual access to bookmarks.

Oh yeah - what is it with Safari & YouTube? Just dreadful, suppendly skips back to the beginning, or hangs forever, or not to mention the dreadful relationship with plugins and supposed ‘ad-blocking’. Really primitive this one.
